A rejiort received on Wednesday at the
board of steam engineering, navy de¬
partment, from one of the inspectors on
the new .cruiser, Charleston, built for
the government, states that the hoise
power developed by the ship in her re¬
cent official run will probably not be
reported above 0,700 by the trial board.
If this be confirmed by the board’s official
report the ship will have failed to make
the contract requirement of 7,000 horse
power by 300, which will subject her
builders to a penalty of $30,000. ■The
vessel was built on the plans of the Kan
itwakan, English designed, which had
about twenty-four trials before she was
accepted.
It is not probable that the war de¬
partment will take any steps in the mat¬
ter of removing the band of Apaches
from Mount Vernon barra&cs, Alabama.
Secretary Proctor said Tuesday morning:
“There is a mendstory statue providing
for the cor.fiDment of the Indians at some

'better place than where they now are.”
The Indian Rights association has made
b propostiou to purchase a large tract of
land iu North Carolina, to which the
Indians could be removed and where they
could live in partial freedom, headed by
that old w*rrior Geronimo; but the sec¬
retary is not disposed to act until he
sees the purchase consumated.
A DETERMINED SUICIDE,
A PROMINENT RAILROAD AND REAL ES¬
TATE MAN OF FLORIDA KILLS HIMSELF.
A special from Seville, Fla., says:
William Kemble Leute, a committed prominent
railroad and real estate man,
suicide here on Wednesday. He began
his work of self-destruction by slashing
his forearm with a sharp razor, and then
took a large dose of morphine, and ended
by discharging a revolver into his brain.
He died almost instantly He was a man
of considerable means, and was largely
interested in the town of Seville, being
heavily invested in her lands, railroads,
water-works, lumber mills and other en¬
terprises. It is said that nearly all of his
inheritance has been either lost or tied
up in such a manner that it is un remu¬
nerative to him, and fear that he had in¬
volved others iu his reverses, drove him
to desperation and suicide.

At Dayton, Ohio, Samuel C. Sho

elixir of life three weeks ago, hoping
for relief from rheumatism, and died on
3Ionday from the effects of the treat¬

A COMPANY ORGANIZED
TO MANUFACTURE FINE STRAW BAGGING
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
It was announced in Charleston, S. C.,
on Saturday that a company had been
organized and will at once enter upon the
manufacture of cotton bagging from the
fibre of the pine straw. TDe factory will
be ouilt at Summerville, twenty-two
miles from that place. The site is in the
thickest part of the pine forest in the
state. The company have also been of¬
fered the privilege of gathering pine
straw from a tract of territory covering
thousands of acres, so that the material
for t£e manufacture of bagging will cost
nothing but the price of collecting and
hauling it. Several bales of cotton cov¬
ered with pine straw bagging were re¬
I ceived at Charleston last year and sub
j ectec j to the severest test of screw,
hook, ’ fire and water, ’ and stood it even
bette r than commoa jute bagging . The
new factory is expected to commence
work as soon as the building and ma

It is pointed out that when much dust
is present in tho atmosphere tho heat of
the sun is greatly absorbed, hence it
seems probable that dust particles may

A Lewiston (Me.) paper says: “A
method of distinguishing the mushroom
from the poisonous toadstool is said to
be by sprinkling salt on the underside.
If it turns black the mushroom is good;
if yellow*, it is poisonous. Time should
be giveu the salt to act.”
It has been noticed that a jet of com
pressed gas inflicts upon the body an
injury of the same nature as a burn.
Dr. B. W. Richardson has accordingly
suggested the use of compressed gas—*
carbonic acid as most convenient—as a
cautery, with advantages in removing
warts, etc.
The fastest locomotive employed in

An artesian well in North City, a
suburb of St. Augustine, Fla., is said to
have the largest flow of any artesian
well in the world. It is an eight-inch
well, and its flow exceeds the highest
expectations. From a measurement
made by Dr. J. K. Rainey, the flow ex¬
ceeds 8000 gallons per minute, or over
11,500,000 gallons every twenty-four
hours.
While wo expect to find the cars
upon the head in the larger animals, wo
look ia vain for the same arrangement
in the lower invertebrate creatures.
Many of these, like the scallop, have no
head; others, like crabs and lobsters,
have no ears placed on their horns or
at ten me; others, like the green grass¬
hopper, have the ear on the foreleg;
others, like the fresh-water shrimp,
have it on the tail.
Alaska Currants.
The dried currant-like fruit fr
referred to by travellers in /
gathered by the Indians in
quantities, is not a true currant,
berries of the Shepherd ia arg
large shrub known in our N
States and Territories as the
berry. A correspondent resit
Fort Wrangle, Alaska, writes
this is about the only native edib
of the country, and the Induing
ciate it so highly that they gatL
dry it for winter use, the ben •
only serving as an agreeable ac 1
but no doubt adding much to t
of the consumer, While this h ud
and prolific shrub is a native of the
colder regions of the Rocky Mountains
from New Mexico northward to Alaska,
it also thrives in the gardens of our
eastern cities and their suburbs, where
it has been sparingly cultivated for the
past half century, and perhaps for ft
longer time.
Antiquity of the Glove.
No*article of attire has more of inter¬
est in its associations and history than
gloves; for while the interest attaching
to most other garments has been mainly
that of utility,, to gloves has been at¬
tached a varied and wide spread sym¬
bolism, giving them an exalted place
and linking them with many curious
observances, and social. regal, ecclesiastical, mili¬
tary glove lias been the
The emblem of
power and of purity, of defiance and
subjection. Lands and personal prop¬
erty were once conveyed authority by the delivery
> * of a glove; the of kings over
provinces was attested by presenting u
glove; kings invested barons with do¬
minion by bestowing on the favorite one
of the kingly iegal gloves; and many ecclesi¬
astical ana ceremonies could only
be performed purity. with white gloves, the
emblems of
The antiquity of gloves is very great;
they doubtless antedate history, for the
earliest literature alludes to them, and
they have been known an<l worn from
the earliest ages of which we have any
knowledge. Homer, in the “Odyssey,
describes Laertes, the farmer-king, the
lather of Ulys es, in his retirement:
“While gloves secured his hands to
shield them from the thorns.” Xeno¬
phon jeers at tho Persians for wearing
gloves as a protection from tho cold;
not only did they have umbrellas borne
over tlwm in summer, not being content
with the shade of tho trees and rocks,
but in the winter it is not sufficient for
them to clothe their heads, and their
bodies, and their feet, bqfc they have
coverings made of hair for their hands
and their lingers. In their earlier days
tho Greeks and the Homans scorned
such effeminacy, but at a later day, in
tho time of Pliny, the unci© of that
lively historian is described as traveling
with an amanuensis “ who wore gloves
upon his hands in winter lost the sever¬
ity of the weather should make him lose
any time ” in writing.
From time immemorial tiie glove has
had a legal significance in oriental
countries in the transfer of property,
just as the “bind “God’s-penny” bargain’’' in was tho formerly
used to a west. A
disputed —Ruth iv. passage and in 8—reads: the Old “Now Testament this

was the manner in former time in Israel,
concerning changing, redeeming confirm and all concerning things;
for to a
neighbor; man plucked and off this his shoe, and testimony g ive to his in
was a
Israel.” It is now commonly agreed by
scholars that the word * hoe, should be
rendered {/low, for in the Ohaldaio para¬
phrase tho word is rendered “tho case or
covering of tho right hand;” and ac¬
cepting this view, it appears that among
the Israelites tho passing of a glove was
the method of transferring property.
Later tho glovo, as a pledge or emblem
of conveyance, came into use among the
Homans, whose ancient law held prop¬
erty to havo passed with its literal
transfer, or of part of it, into the hand
of the purchaser; and tho glove, doubt

A Cyclone Relic.
A western blacksmith has a relic of a
cyclone which occurred ten years ago.
This witness of one of the freaks of the
great storm is a black quart bottle, bent
by some mysterious force into an ellipse,
without a crack or break iu the glm-s
that the closest scrutiny can discover.
The neck of the bottle actually toucl cs
the edge of the bottom, and tho facttlm.
the glass was not broken in any way bj
the strange force of the storm,is shown by
its holding water or any other fluid. By
gradually turning the bottle os the water
is poured in, it can be nearly filled to its
full capacity, so as to show the perfect
soundness of the material. The heeding
of the bottle is probably due to the force
of electricity.
